Statistics – Collecting, sorting and analysing information!

Yesterday we worked in three groups with our teachers during Mathematics. Mrs de Koning helped us gather some Art Things from inside the class. Mrs O’Grady worked with a group using small dinosaurs. Mrs Bucheler went outside to collect Autumn leaves off the ground.

When we gathered our objects we talked about them. We named the different things we had.

We talked about how many dinosaurs of each type there were. We counted how many of each there were. We made sure our lines were straight. Some lines had many dinosaurs and some had a few.

Mrs B took a group of children outside to gather leaves. During Autumn there are a lot of leaves on the ground. When we got back inside the class we sorted our leaves into groups. There were 4 different types of leaves.

After we sorted and displayed our art things we decided to count them.Mrs de Koning wrote down the numbers so we could read them.

After we had counted our sets we talked about what we had found out. Mrs de Koning wrote some captions in cloud shapes. Our names were on them if it was our idea! We saw a lot of things and used words like: more, less, fewer, big, little, small, same.

After we had labelled and analysed our sets we tidied everything back up, so we could share it the next day with the rest of the class! They enjoyed sorting, counting, labelling and analysing too!
